Externalities

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2025 3' M/12 desenho

Externalities juxtaposes hand drawn animation cycles which I drew on my iPhone, with zones of color. Pans, cuts and cross fades bring the viewer to ambiguous regions, supported by a soundtrack composed of electronic music and sound effects. My intention is to juxtapose those disparate elements into a compelling whole. I created the soundtrack digitally, using music software. I also employ sound effects from a library of sounds.
